Menâs Health Week provides an opportunity to raise awareness of preventable health problems amongst men. HSE is calling for your support of 2 campaigns in relation to men's health. Asbestos and You According to HSEâs mesothelioma statistics, men who worked in the building industry when asbestos was used extensively in the past continue to be most at risk. More men working in skilled trades die due to past asbestos exposure. Trades with particular risk include electrical engineering, joinery, plumbing, heating, flooring and tiling. Help raise awareness of what tradespeople should look for and what to do to protect themselves should they come across asbestos during their work. For more information, visit our Asbestos and You campaign webpages. You can also find HSE guidance on asbestos. Working Minds HSE's Working Minds campaign can help you prevent stress and support mental health at work. You can normalise talking about how men are feeling and coping at work by sharing Working Minds messages and resources. Visit HSE's website for more guidance on stress and mental health at work.
